EXTEMPORIZING A CIPHER.
When Wll street Bret caught the
fever for "Industrial combinations"
nd began the reorganization of every
thing in sight, sajs the Brooklyn
Eagle, one of the votaries of high
finance found himself In Chicago In
extreme need of communicating with
hi New fork office.
He bad almost completed an ar
rangement for the consolidation of w
eral Western enterprises, but in order
to get the final authority he needed
from New York, be must explain all
be had done by wire to his partners.
There was no time to write. He bad
no cipher code. For a long time be
tried to think out some way to send
the information so that it would be
plain to bis partners and meaningless
to any one else. Hi secret waa a rat
eable one, aud once sent over the wire
might be sold out to hi rivals In Wall
street for a large sum.
At last be decided to take the
chances In plain English. Accordingly
he wrote the message and gave it to
hi assistant to send.
Half an hour later, when the assist
ant came back, he asked blm if he bad
sent It
"Not ust that way," ald the clerk.
"I rewrote it. the first word on a
Postal blank, the second on a Western
Colon, and so on. I sent half by each
company, and neither half meant any
thing. Then I sent a second mesuge
by one line, saying. "Read both mes
sage together, alternating words.'"
The scheme was too simple for the
high financier to haTe evolved, but It
worked perfectly.
Batter Made of Coconut
A new bntter is now being made
from the milk of the cocoanut This
milk, when subjected to a temperature
of over 88 C, runs Into a yellow oil,
which is imported In great quantities
from India and Africa. The better
qualifies of it s re obtained from Cey
lon. Cochin China and Australia. The
sut produces GO per cent of oil and
one acre of land planted with cocoa cut
trees would produce over 00 ponndj
f oil. thia has hitherto been used
for fats for soap, or for machinery oil,
and the better qualities employed in
the manufacture of textile goods.
In France this oil ia now subjected
to a special treatment and converted
Into butter.
Dr. Heuner, a German chemist, pro
poses to buy op all the cocoanut oils
and transform them into what be
terms "vegetable butter."
The cocoanut butter, like that made
from cows' milk, contains 7 per cent
of soluble adds. It will keep from
fifteen to twenty days without show
ing any sign of acid reaction, and It
contains from twenty-five to thirty
times less water than ordinary butter,
while its slowness In oxidizing makes
It specially suitable for pastry and
cakes, as they will not get stale so
quickly when made with it as with
other bntter.
Another advantage claimed for the
cocoanut butter Is that It seems to be
an antiseptic medium, while milk la
most favorable to the culture of mi
crobes. At the central hospital of Vienna
and in various hospitals In Switzer
land experiments have been made with
this new butter and the result bar
been pronounced satisfactory.

GRAFT IN THE NAVY.
Ballon Art Starved That Official May
Fatten Their Own Pnraea.
Desertion from the American nary
are of startling occurrence. In almost
every port where our vessel touch the
blue Jackets are unlawfully quitting
the service. Within the past two years
the crews of two warships have been
reported i a mutinous state and the
dissatisfaction is growing. The rea
sons for this state of things are sev
eral, but the principal one 1 bad food.
"The food served on some of the
ships," says a sailor, "is a disgrace to
the country. Many times we are un
able to eat the stuff that I served to
us, and go about our work hungry,
waiting until next meal time, hoping,
often in vain, that the next mess may
mean more appetizing rations. The
rations purchased are of the cheapest
and most Inferior quality. I have seen
canned beef actually green with rot
tennesa served at mess. Even the
hardtack is oftentimes mouldy, and
liver and bacon is a dish we dread, for
the liver 1 nearly alway decayed. W
call It 'petrified liver.'
"Who 1 to blame for this? Why,
the paymaster and the commissary
stewards, of course. They are allowed
a certain sum by the Navy Depart
ment for each man's rations, They
buy the ration from stores at the
various port we touch at By buying
cheap and rotten tuff, they can put
a tidy sum In their pockets. It'
graft' pur and simple, and I'm not
afraid to call It by that name. They
don't care a continental for th wel
fare of ti men so long a they can put
a little money In their own pocket."
Practically the same story is told by
a cook' assistant in a statement to
th New York Tribune. "I nave served
on three ships," he said, "and never
yet found rations that were fit to eat
I pity the men, but what can I do?
Only recently I had pork sausage giv
en m to serve at mess, and I bad to
wash them in a copper, by order of
the commissary steward, in order to
get the green off them. The canned
beef I often mouldy on the surface.
I have seen case where there were
trace of maggot In It I have served
macaroni which smelled so bad that
I have bad to hold my nose when 'I
placed It on the table. Th men ar
powerles to kick. They would not b
listened to. All they can do 1 to leav
th grab and go hungry."
"And do th officers allow thl state
of affair f th reporter asked.
"Th officer rarely discover how
bad things art. Th deck officer ch
day is r.ipied to make an Inspection
of the ration ervred. according to the
navy blue Iw. The Inspection Is
made as follow: The eoumtlssery
steward takes the very choicest Hr
tiou of tlm meas and carries It on a
platter to the officer on deck. The offi
cer take It and declares that Jack Tar
Is indeed a lucky fellow to be so well

GROWING JET BLACK ROSES.

ftoackt by Floriata.
Florist In New York were greatly
interested to-day In the anuouueeuieut
that an Englishman hat discovered
how to grow Jet black roses, a feat
which has been vainly attempted for
many year. If doaen of them could
be offered for sale to-day in the city
leading florist agreed that there
would be no difficulty in obtaiuiug
11,200 for the bunch.
On a few estate along th Rhine
practically black rosea have been
grown for the last ten years, but all
effort to eliminate reddish Unt In
th center of the bud hav so far fail
ed. No secret has been more closely
guarded by the German gardener than
thia on of developing even com
paratively Mack flower. Visitor are
allowed to look at the bushes and bnds
on special occasions, but what Ingre
dient ha been put Into th soil to
bring about the abnormal color has
not been told even to close friends.
In California a specialist has also
been partly successful In producing
rose practically black, but, according
to announcement In London, it re
mained for a peddler of shoelaces to
attain perfection. It wa said to-day
by New York florist that undoubtedly
the color Is the result of chemical
Introduced in the soil.
The same principle, however. Is said
to be Involved a in the development
of blue hydrangeas, which are pro
duced by putting Iron Into th soli In
which the plant are grown.
The black blossom would be most
popular as Indications of mourning,
but it was agreed by florist that the
day ia yet dlatant when any one of
the freaks will be seen in their win

GIVES COWS FOR DIAMONDS
Pioneer Pr-oapcctor In Booth Africa
Telia of His Kspcriancaa,
J. B. Robinson has been recounting
to an Interviewer his early experi
ences In 1S7U while in search of South
African diamonds. Having given eight
oxen aud a wagon loaded with sugar
aud tobacco to a Grlqua In exchange
for a 23 carat gem. tbe news spread
like wild fire through the country side
that a white man was giving away
wagons and oxen for bits of stone.
"I set all the native who came to
work to seek for diamonds on one side
of the river," says Mr. Robinson, "and
fetched up my own fifty men to bunt
for dlamomla among tbe bushes and
-rub on my side of the Vaal. I may
say that I had bought the land on
lth sides of the river, so that I was
working on my own property. Next
morning at sunrise when I was hav
ing my coffee I was srartled by a loud
uallao-hallonlng, and looking out I
saw the whole gang of my men rush
ing toward me In a state of wild ex
citement "One of them had found a diamond
of a good size; they all had come to
see what I would do with It 'What
will you give me for It?" says be. I
will glv yon ten cows,' I replied, and
sent the man Into tbe herd to take hi
pick and be marked ten of the best
cows as his Own. They had never
irenmed of making such a bargain.
Ten cows for a bit of stone! Off they
went again and found diamonds every
day; they all became rich and I accu
mulated a good store of precious
utones.
"After we had accumulated a large
quantity we decided we had better
send them to London. We made a belt
full of small pockets, In each of which
we placed a diamond. When the belt
was, filled my partner girded It about
hi body and tarted for Cape Town,
lie never took off the belt until he
reached London. And It wa In this
way that the first consignment of
African diamonds reached London."

The announcement of tr. J me
Morrow, secretary of the Pennsylvania
Bible Society, that his organisation
alone distributed lO.OW.OOO lllbles last
year, while ft,(MD were sold by tbe
trade, sgnlu call attention lo the Im
mense circulation of th book. Where
all the Bible issued go to I a wonder
even among the agoudes that are tsm
evrned In the work. Ulatrlbullou ar
supposed to cover, s far as possible,
place and person not yet reached,
but It would appear that there ire uo
longer ny such place and persona
left. Kven supposing ther were lllbles
lu the knapsacks of some or even all
of th slaughtered thousands on the
field or burled Willi their clothes on at
Port Arthur and Mukduti, that would
be but a drop In the ocean of urodue
tloii. The proportion of Bible to be
found on secoud band book 'Ms Is nt
greater than of other books, nor are
tbey probably stored away more than
other book are. Pertis who hav
